Wizard of science

Li He glanced at Fei'er and Wei'er who were confused, and then slowly spoke out and gave an explanation.

“The roads to Greystone Mountain, Emerald Lake, Blackwater Swamp, and Shadow Forest are guided by pathfinding crystals.

Since we know that the ultimate goal is Lensa, there is no need to follow this path exactly. Not only is it difficult to follow, but there may also be obstacles deliberately set by the count for us.

We can take the water route, first follow the Green Creek River to Dust Town, and then follow the Lemmon River all the way north to reach Lensa by the sea. Easier and more convenient. "

"So, let's go to the dock now?"

Li He shook his head again: "We are indeed going to the dock, but before that, we have to go back to Blackstone Castle."

"do what?"

“First, a lot of my research stuff is in the castle, so I must take it with me before leaving.

Second, and most importantly, the count guided us to Lensa to accept the test. In addition to receiving guidance, we must also have our own thinking and goals, otherwise we will be completely manipulated.

For example, I am very curious now about how Monasha, Lunasi, and Hill disappeared, and whether the count left anything or clues behind when he took them away. You have to go back to Blackstone Castle to see all of these. "

"But... aren't you afraid of returning to Blackstone Castle?" Weier said hesitantly.

"Why are you afraid? Is there anything dangerous in Blackstone Castle now?"

"I don't know...but I always feel that since you have left the castle, don't go back. Going back is not a good idea."

"Why should we be afraid of things that we don't even know? If you are really afraid, then try to figure it out. When you figure it out, no matter how great the horror is, it is just a bunch of data in your eyes. Okay. Alright, let’s go.”

As he spoke, Li He walked towards the door.

Weier and Feier looked at each other and quickly followed.

…

After a while, Li He, Wei'er, and Feier returned to Blackstone Castle.

There was deathly silence in the Black Stone Castle, and the cold moonlight shone through the clouds, making the castle look even more eerie.

The moss on the wall, the vines in the corner, and the towering black pines seemed to be hiding invisible eyes, peeping out.

Fei'er kept turning her little head and looked around, a little wary, while Weier's little face tightened, and she was very nervous.

"Li He, I'm a little scared." Weier couldn't help but grab Li He's arm and said, "How about we pack up our things quickly and leave quickly."

"Wait a moment." Li He touched Wei'er's head and reassured, "Quickly, let's check the castle first. After checking, we will pack up and leave."

As he spoke, Li He walked towards the main castle.

With a "squeak" sound, Li He, Wei'er and Fei'er pushed open the thick black door of the main castle and walked into the living room of the main castle.

The hall is very deep, and the moonlight from outside comes in, barely illuminating a small area at the door. The area inside is as dark as ink, like a monster's mouth, choosing people to eat.

Li He was not afraid, lit the torch, walked straight into the living room, and carefully checked everything in the living room.

The result is... business as usual.

The hall was unchanged from usual.

Li He frowned and walked into the restaurant with Wei'er and Fei'er again.

The same is true, the dining table is no different from before, it is cleaned and spotless.

Finally, Li Hyuk walked into the kitchen.

You can see that there are many prepared dishes on the kitchen table, which have become cold because they have been left for too long.

On the stove, there is a copper pot with soup boiling in it. Due to the continuous roasting, the soup has reached the bottom and the copper pot is burning red.

It seemed that there was a group of maids here not long ago preparing dinner for today, but suddenly, they all disappeared.

Also missing were the Countess, Fiona, Monasha, Lunasi, and Hill.

Except for the people, everything remained unchanged, but the people disappeared without a trace.

No reason, no clue.

Extremely puzzling, extremely weird.

Li He's eyes became solemn, he put out the stove in the kitchen, walked out of the kitchen, and continued to inspect the rest of the main castle.

During the process, I was a little more careful.

Half an hour passed, and I almost checked the main castle, but found nothing.

Finally, Li He stopped in front of a thick red wooden door, looking at the door in front of him with serious eyes.

"Li He, this seems to be... the count's room." Wei'er, who was standing next to her, timidly said, "Do we also want to check the count's room?"

"Why not? There are no clues in other places. The only place with clues is here. Theoretically, there should be many secrets in this room, related to the count and Blackstone Castle."

"But... what if the count finds out and becomes angry?"

"Then let's apologize to her when we see her again. Before that, let's take a little offense and see what is in this room." Li He said, pushing the door hard.

The door didn't move.

Um?

Li He raised his eyebrows, feeling the resistance from inside the door. He took a deep breath, put his hands on the door, and pushed hard.

"Zhizhi——quack——"

There was a harsh sound like the turning of rusty gears, and the wooden door was finally pushed open with difficulty.

Li He, Wei'er, and Feier looked at the door. The next moment, Wei'er and Feier were stunned, and Li He also opened his eyes slightly in surprise. .

Suddenly, what appeared in front of them was not the Earl's bedroom as imagined at all, but an empty room - there was nothing in the room.

No, it's not empty. If you look carefully, you can see that the ground is covered with thick dust and the corners are covered with cobwebs. It looks like it has been uninhabited for a long time.

this!

"Don't the Earl sleep here every day? Why is it like this?" Mayfair shouted in confusion.

"Yes, why is this so?" Wei'er echoed, her eyes widened, full of confusion.

Li He squinted his eyes and scanned the room. He was also confused and thought quickly.

No matter how you look at it, the room does not look like it has been lived in. From the thickness of the dust and the density of the cobwebs, it can be inferred that it has been idle for several years.

But what Mayfair said was true. Everyone in the castle knew that this room was the Earl's bedroom, and every time the Earl took a break, he would return to this room.

Every time the count appeared, he always walked out of this room.

The scene before him now told him that reality was not like this.

So what's going on?

If no one has ever lived in this room, where did the count return when he returned to the room?

When you walk out of the room, where do you come from?

Or, in fact, there was no so-called earl from the beginning, and this room has always been vacant?

How to explain the memories of the past? How to explain the contact with the Countess?

Are they all false?

Has it been tampered with?

At this moment, Li He couldn't help but feel an unreal feeling.

Looking at Fei'er and Weier again, the two people reacted even more, their faces were pale and confused, and they felt that their world view had been subverted.
